About

Getting tired of predictable wedding videos? Since your story involves so much more than your wedding day, we've created an original style of storytelling which goes beyond the special day and digs more into who you are and why you fell in love. This allows us to create a more engaging film! We also believe your video will serve as one of the first pieces of your priceless family legacy.

For those wishing to keep to the more commonly seen wedding day highlights, with a cinematic flair, we can take care of you too! You'll notice in our wedding day highlights we tend to use a lot more toast/ceremony or card audio than our fellow film makers in order to tell as much of your story as possible. Whether you go with our base package or a more complex Love Story, on the big day, we strive to keep out of your way and blend into the scenes as they unfold organically. Though you'll hardly notice we're there, we'll capture the important events of the day with unbridled creative energy. Just fill out the contact page on our web site and we'll be back in touch within the hour.

Your film maker, Mike Thole, has been working with video since high school in Stillwater, MN over 25 years ago. After a teaching career spanning two decades, he's been editing professionally since 2010. Because he connected so much with the storytelling style of Stillmotion, he decided to launch Storyteller Videography in September of 2013.

Goes the extra mile!

Mike did a wonderful job with our wedding video - we could not be happier! After our first conversation I knew he was the right fit for us. He made us feel so comfortable talking through the details & learning what was important to us. He’s professional and organized while also relaxed and personable. He made sure to capture everything we wanted – definitely going the extra mile! (I especially appreciated how he coordinated with our other vendors – took so much off our plates.) Thank you Mike! We love our video and would highly recommend you to others!

Best Decision Ever

We could not be happier with our decision to hire Mike as our videographer! He was an absolute pleasure to work with, so professional and accommodating, we felt completely at ease on our wedding day. Mike strived to capture every detail of our day and helped make sure everything ran smoothly. It is so obvious that he is truly passionate about what he does and that he really cares about recreating the wedding day for his clients. We have watched our highlight film more times than I can count and I am overwhelmed with emotion every single time. He did an incredible job capturing our day and putting together a film that highlighted all of the best moments. We have received countless compliments on our video from family and friends who were all so impressed with what he put together. We are so incredibly thankful that we can relive and cherish our wedding day for years to come. If you're contemplating a videographer, look no further. It is well worth the investment because the product is priceless. Thank you for your amazing work, Mike!

I can’t say enough to describe how thankful I am to Mike for accepting to be our wedding videographer. We got engaged 6 months before our wedding and I started looking for a videographer with four months left. I thought for sure I wouldn’t be able to find anyone and when I found Storyteller Videography I thought there would be no way they had time open still for this summer. I really lucked out! All the video I saw on his website made me confident that he would give us exactly what we were looking for and after talking with him one time over the phone I knew he was the man for the job! Mike is definitely an expert in his field and I am truely amazed by the quality of work he is able to create especially as one man for our wedding. He is very professional and easy to work with. He is very detailed and works well with photographers. He has a natural eye for catching special moments and content that is going to work well in a cinematic video. I did not feel him around us like a paparazzi but the footage he captured was clear and personal. He put in so much effort on our special day which I really appreciate, but his ability to put together a cinematic video that is smooth and flows and transitions is where he shines even more. The music fades in and out perfectly, the pieces of our letters and vows that he picked to highlight fit together to create a beautiful story and then the images he shared in our video brings me back to every special moment I could want to remember. During the editing process he was very accommodating and he tweaked a couple things for us to make sure we had exactly what we wanted. Mike is very creative, thoughtful, and innovative. He is also very wise and I appreciate the insight and feedback he provided throughout the process. Every video I watch from other videographers don’t compare to what he does with his videos. He will be doing our daughter’s and my brothers’ videos someday because we won’t work with anyone else since working with Mike.

Mike was so wonderful to work with before, during and after our wedding day. He captured my sister's wedding in 2014 and I knew we would have to have him for our date in 2017! He is extremely professional, hard working, and talented. Our highlight trailer really captured the essence of our relationship. We have a long history, with many shared memories, and he made sure that our narrative was expressed through the highlight video.

He also pays incredible attention to detail. Our ceremony was outdoors on a very windy day and he made sure to use equipment and editing tools that made the sound completely clear. If it wasn't for my blowing veil, you wouldn't even notice the strong breeze!

We have loved watching our video and are so proud to share it with our friends and family. Our wedding day flew by, so we feel very fortunate that we are able to re-experience it time and time again.

Working with Mike at Storyteller Videography was a wonderful experience. When we were planning our wedding, we knew we wanted to capture the day on video so we had more than just pictures to look back on in the future. After watching our highlight video and the full video from our wedding day, we could not be happier with the decision we made to choose Storyteller Videography. Mike was very easy to work with and we would recommend Storyteller Videography to anyone getting married, and for anyone contemplating whether or not to hire a videographer, we would highly suggest doing so, and choosing Storyteller.

Mike at Storyteller Videography was such an amazing person to work with and helped make our wedding everything we had hoped! From the moment we contacted Mike he was genuinely excited to work with us and helped capture every moment of our wedding the way we wanted so we would never forget it! The quality of his work is well worth the price and after doing TONS of research I felt the price was very reasonable for the services we received.

Mike made sure he had all questions answered before our big day and showed up the day of the fully prepared. Communication was great with him from start to finish! Mike made sure my husband and I felt comfortable with everything that he had planned and also with those moments that popped up he thought would be best to capture when we hadn't even thought about it.

Once our wedding was over Mike made sure we were not forgotten about during the wait to receive the final footage and highlight film. He would send emails and small clips of footage, so fun! Once we received the film we watched it probably 100 times the first day. It was so amazing it brought both my husband and I to tears! We showed all our friends and family, all of which commented on the amazing job Mike had done. You would think Mike had an army helping him that day, but truth is he is just that good!

I would 100 times over recommend Mike to anyone looking for a videographer!! Thanks Mike!!
